I just reported an APEX to the sumter county sheriff who happened to be in the are, and the police drove right past the guy who was walking in the street.

Reported them for what?

this is the reason our insurance has gone out of control.. they stopped by my house today, the conversation did not last long.

I'm thinking of writing up a form for any "inspection" companies to sign if they want to solicit business at my home. Something like, "if any damage occurs to any of my property during your visit, you will be held personally and financially responsible for repair or replacement of said damage. This includes but is not limited to: driveway repainting, sod replacement, flower-bed replanting, roof replacing, vinyl siding replacement and painting, repair or replacement of the trim, walls, siding of the shed, electrical wiring, air conditioning, heat, water pump, the motor vehicles in the driveway including golf carts, the bicycle and lawnmower in the shed, any and all equipment, the TV in the living room, the computer, and the contents of my dresser."

See if they still want to do that free inspection I never called them to ask them to do.

Or, simply don't answer the door, or if you do, just say no thanks.

It's worked well for me all these years.

Future TVers here... We have the same thing in Louisiana; not unique to TV for sure...

You need an inspection so they can sell you a roof you mostly likely don't need. Of course they want to inspect everyone's roof, without an inspection there is no scam. Think of it as Rachael from Credit Card services, wanting to do an inspection of your credit cards.
